In this package you'll get: *** German Language Phrases German is a main language of Germany, Austria, parts of Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. It is also spoken in the French departement of Alsace (German: Elsass), in the Italian province of Alto Adige (German: S?dtirol), parts of Luxembourg, and a small part of Belgium. *** French Language Phrases French is a Romance language originating in France but spoken in many other parts of the world: in Europe in Southern Belgium and Western Switzerland; in North America in Quebec, New Brunswick, other parts of Canada, and parts of Louisiana; in the former French colonies in North Africa and West Africa; in Haiti and Martinique in the Caribbean; in French Guiana in South America; in Tahiti and numerous other islands in Oceania. It has long been the language of international diplomacy and communication, and although replaced largely by English since World War II, it remains de rigueur for educated people around the world to have some level of basic French ability. *** Italian Language Phrases Italian is the official language of Italy, San Marino, the Vatican City and of the Swiss Canton Ticino. Even if in most of the touristic resorts along Italy English and German are widely spoken, most of the Italian people can't speak a foreign language (we are lazy, I know) so you'd better know some basic phrases in Italian, just to make yourself understood. In Italian, you use the polite form ("lei") with all the people you don't know; it doesn't matter whether they are older or younger than you. You'll use the confidential form ("tu") with the people you know. The two forms differs in the use of the 2nd and 3rd persons in verbs. Italian has a range of dialects from Lombard and Piemontese (which are influenced by French) to Calabrese and Sicilian. Some of these are mutually unintelligible, but you should be able to speak standard Italian with them. Standard Italian is Florentine Tuscan dialect spoken with a Roman accent. Sardinian is a different language entirely; it is no closer to Italian than to Spanish. *** Dutch Language Phrases Dutch is a Germanic language spoken in the Netherlands, the northern part of Belgium (also called Flemish there) and parts of Suriname. It is the ancestor language of the Afrikaans spoken in South Africa, which is still quite similar to Dutch. Since many Dutch and Flemish people like to practice their foreign languages it is very difficult to learn more than the basics. You will notice that even after having reached a reasonable level people continue to respond in English after having started the conversation in Dutch. Older people generally don't speak English though, so a bit of Dutch can come in handy. In Flanders it is much more common to use the polite form than in the Netherlands, where it is nowadays mostly reserved to address elderly people. However, since it could be a problem to use the casual form where the polite form is due, and the opposite might simply invoke some giggles, we use the polite form in this phrasebook unless mentioned otherwise. The pronunciation of the G differs greatly between the Flemish and the Dutch. The Dutch G can sometimes sound a bit like someone cleansing his throat. The actual border of the soft/hard G lies between the Rhine and the Waal. *** Spanish Language Phrases Spanish is the fourth most-spoken language in the world. Originating in Spain, and spoken by most residents there, it is also spoken in Mexico and all of Central and South America except Brazil, Guyana and Surinam. Spanish is also spoken in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean islands. Spanish is a first language for many people in the United States, especially in California, Texas, South Florida, and the Southwest. A romance language, Spanish is closely related to particularly Portuguese, to Italian, and to some extent to French. English and Spanish share approximately one third of the same words, although the pronunciation tends to be very different. *** Swedish Language Phrases Swedish is a Scandinavian language, closely related to Norwegian and Danish. Spoken by over 9 million people, Swedish is the national language of Sweden and the official language of the ?land Islands. It is also an official language of Finland (along with Finnish), though only the mother tongue for about 6 percent of Finns. *** Romania Language Phrases Romanian is a Romance language spoken mainly in Romania and Moldova, as well as in some parts of Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro, Bulgaria and Ukraine. It is useful to know the language if travelling in Romania, especially in rural areas, and even though nowadays nearly everyone knows some English, your experience in the country will be so much better and friendlier if you speak the local language. Romanian is a fairly difficult language to learn and speak, due to its complicated grammar. It is, however, fairly similar to Italian, and, to an extent, other Romance languages (Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, etc.), so speakers of these languages are more at an advantage. Note that in Romanian, there is a formal and informal form when addressing people. The informal is tu (you) and the formal is dumneavoastra. There is also a formal way of speaking about other people, not just when addressing them. When referring to she use dumneaei; for he use dumnealui; and for them use dumnealor. Note that the formal form should be used with the plural form of the verb, at the appropriate person. This is similar to the construction in most other Romance languages, and, to an extent, German, although Germans usually make less use of the informal forms. Use tu when addressing friends or people you know well. When addressing strangers or speaking about strangers, use the formal forms. Here's a short and simple list of what you will find inside this little gem: *** Learn Basic Coversational Phrases Like: 'How Are You?', 'My Name Is', 'What Is Your Name?', 'Do You Speak English?', 'Hello', 'Goodbye', 'Please', 'Thank You', 'I Don't Understand', and Many Others *** Pronunciation Tables For Vowels, Consonants, and Diphthongs In Each European Native Languages *** Learn How To Say Specific Words Such As: Colors, Telling Time, Days of the Week, Months, Plus Numbers and Counting *** Learn Helpful Travelling Phrases Like How To Hail A Taxi Cab, How To Ask Questions Regarding Bus and Train Travel, And Great Phrases To Help You Ask For Directions *** Learn How To Ask About Hotel Accomodations, How To Order Specific Food And Drink In A Restaraunt, And Even Questions About What Types of Payments Are Accepted!
